Php question - simple shit...

[Jace]

i need to insert an image into this page, and I know little about php

why when I put this in
<img src='images/CategoriesBox/header.jpg' width='150' height='15' border='0'>

does it give me a

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<'

error?

how can I write that in php so the image shows up?

Don't you need another " ' " before your last " ?

Nevermind, I may be wrong on that.

What script are you trying to play with?

Paste more of the code... I think it's carry over from the line above.

echo "<img src='images/CategoriesBox/header.jpg' width='150' height='15' border='0'>";

Should work just fine.

Paste the whole php tag

<!-- categories //-->
          <tr>
            <td>
<?php
<img src='images/CategoriesBox/header.jpg' width='150' height='15' border='0'>
  $categories_string = '';

  $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . $languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
  while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query))  {
    $foo[$categories['categories_id']] = array(
                                        'name' => $categories['categories_name'],
                                        'parent' => $categories['parent_id'],
                                        'level' => 0,
                                        'path' => $categories['categories_id'],
                                        'next_id' => false
                                       );

    if (isset($prev_id)) {
      $foo[$prev_id]['next_id'] = $categories['categories_id'];
    }

    $prev_id = $categories['categories_id'];

    if (!isset($first_element)) {
      $first_element = $categories['categories_id'];
    }
  }

i wanna insert an image at the very top of it all, but within the php code so there is no gap between where the php starts and the html ends

<!-- categories //-->
          <tr>
            <td>
<?php
  echo "<img src='images/CategoriesBox/header.jpg' width='150' height='15' border='0'>";
  $categories_string = '';

  $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . $languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
  while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query))  {
    $foo[$categories['categories_id']] = array(
                                        'name' => $categories['categories_name'],
                                        'parent' => $categories['parent_id'],
                                        'level' => 0,
                                        'path' => $categories['categories_id'],
                                        'next_id' => false
                                       );

    if (isset($prev_id)) {
      $foo[$prev_id]['next_id'] = $categories['categories_id'];
    }

    $prev_id = $categories['categories_id'];

    if (!isset($first_element)) {
      $first_element = $categories['categories_id'];
    }

Gotcha, see the post above, he nailed it. I thought you meant the table headers.

If you use any HTML in a PHP tag it has to be with an 'echo'

I would guess that it would be better practice to just put the image in before the PHP tag, but unless you talking about millions of hits I doubt it would make a difference.

when i put the html before the php tag it creates a gap between the image and php...and it needs to be seemless
